Webservice Error from remote system.

Question

Hello,

Could any one help me in finding the solution for this error.

I have a normal web service which is working fine in intranet, when when the vendors try to access the same from internet, they get this below error.

---

There was an error downloading 'https://isite.corp.net/Service/Sample.asmx'.

The remote name could not be resolved: 'isite.corp.net'

Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://isite.corp.net/Service/Sample.asmx'.

There was no endpoint listening at https://isite.corp.net/Service/Sample.asmx that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

The remote name could not be resolved: 'isite.corp.net'

If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

Does any one know the solution for this.

Thanks.

It seems like domain "isite.corp.net" (website) is not accessible from outside office network because error says "The remote name could not be resolved: 'isite.corp.net'". Please make sure your domain is public and can be accessible from outside. If it is not public, you have ask your vendor to put ipaddress mapping in host file.
